Knockwood Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Ok here is my first 3D model. It is a Riser Manifold for a fire sprinkler wet system. Since I work in this field I thought it would be good practice. Each piece was made seperate then atatched to the base unit. It is not quite finished,there are a few more things to do. Ok Back to work[attachmentid=13494] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattWBradbury Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 That's an awsome model. My first model was a cube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhar Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 That looks great. Is that a solenoid valve inside that red canister? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knockwood Posted January 22, 2006 Author Share Posted January 22, 2006 Thanks Everyone for your feedback. I am working on some threaded fittings and grooved fittings. heck,I guess I'm making a whole Fire sprinkler system. There are a few more things to do,I'll post the final later. Yes if this can be used by others,I will contribute. It would be an Honor. "I have search the world for a thousand years, and I find a new friend each day."

Knockwood Posted January 23, 2006 Author Share Posted January 23, 2006 OK,Here is the finished Riser manifold. The switch is a VSR-F Water Flow Alarm Switch. This software is great,can't wait for the 2006 to arrive. Maybe I'm not looking at the right place,but I can't find Vern. Can anyone help? Thanks [attachmentid=13590] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakchas Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 his screen name is heyvern Your model looks great... the G in Guage is cut off, and with a few bump maps the cast brass valves and black iron pipe fittings it will be dead on! Our systems at work are pressurized wih air... if the air pressure drops, the alarms go off, and there are water flow alarms as well. I think your idea of modeling things you work with on a daily basis is the best way to start, and you are proving it! You know how these things feel, so you have tactile input in addition to the visual. Anyway, great job so far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gschumsky Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 That's an awsome model. My first model was a cube. Nice model indeed. Mine was a blue torus (way, way back in the Atari CyberStudio days). I just looked at it and thought "Wow, it can't get any better than this!".

Knockwood Posted January 26, 2006 Author Share Posted January 26, 2006 Thanks Guys, I work in the design dept, for sprinkler systems in buildings. I thought about doing a dry pipe valve( this one has air pressure). I recieved the 2006, Thanks Martin. Is this the version 13 I heard about? I'm kinda confused, as I see on the update page it has v12 for 2006. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakchas Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 You have ver. 12 with the 2006 CD. You can upgrade online thru ~April or so in '07 (I might be mistaken about this)... 13 is still in Alpha... but will start being beta, and you can upgrade to it now or later. Ver 13 changes all models from previous versions.... so models made or edited in 13 are not Backwards compatible... but v 11 and 12 models are forward compatible. You can get a current alpha of v13 in the movie project area... be careful moving stuff you've done in earlier versions... It's an alpha version...
